Book Review: Parasouls by Michele Richard

Synopsis:Born amongst the
humans, yet not being one, the parasouls fight to remain hidden. Using
the ancient tunnels and abandoned, buried basements as their homes
parasouls live in the underbelly of society in their own world, they've

flames from your fingertips, there’s no way to deny it. Damian McNamara
built and rules the world they thrive in.Angelique is the leader
of a special team whose job it is to keep the “normals” from knowing of

physically unable to touch another living soul without inflicting
indescribable pain upon them.The Parasoul Acquisition Control Taskforce hunts them for what they are.Shane
is the headhunter for the taskforce. Like Angelique, he’s never been
able to touch anyone due to his gift of red and orange flames that
singes the flesh of others. The moment Shane and Angelique meet,
the heavens open and connect their souls forever. So what happens when
Shane finds himself trapped between the only thing he’s ever desired and
his job? He has no choice but to deliver the one person who owns his
soul over to his bosses, the government’s taskforce? Which side is the
good, the bad, and the dictators? They’re both in for a rude awakening.Can
love conquer all when you’re supposed to hate the one soul you cannot
live without? How long can they fight the urge to give in to their
connection? Can two parasouls on opposite sides find common ground and
forge a future?

My Review:I will start this review by saying I Love Love Love this author. But this book was not what I had already come to expect from author Michele Richard. I was expecting an out of this world, intense paranormal book. Instead it took me two tries to read. It is a slow read. That and the fact that the love story line was not quite the way I was expecting. While this book was not really for me, author Michele Richards is an awesome writer, and I am looking forward to reading more from her. So I will leave it up to you to read for yourself and make your own decision.

And for the reasons above I am givingParasoulsa Breath of Life rating of:

Three Clock Rating!

Disclosure: I received this book in exchange for my review. The opinions are mine. And your opinion may differ.

About the Author:

Michele Richard is the proud
mother of 2 daughters. Married since 1997 to a wonderful husband, who
for 25 years has been her best friend and supporter. Being an overly
creative and caring person, she has been a volunteer co-leader for the
Girl Scout Troop for five years. She takes great pride in teaching and
guiding our future generations. Her desire to continue her
education drove her to attend night classes at Waltham High School. She
refuse to just let life be. There is too much to learn than to stand by
and watch it go by. Though she is not fluent yet in either, she has
learned to speak French and Spanish in school. One day her dream is to
be fluent in both.”I supposed that makes me a lover of languages. Never stop learning is my motto.” Travel
is one of her great passions. Having seen the beaches of the Bahama’s,
Aruba and Mexico to the deserts of Utah and Arizona, her personal
favorite was bicycling down Mount Vail and standing on top of the
Intercontinental Divide, followed closely by the Grand Canyon.“America is truly a beautiful place to see. I recommend seeing as much of it as you can.”I
started writing with a flawed theory that a manuscript need to be
complete and perfect before anyone would even want to read it, never
mind publish it. the first thing I learned was it took a whole team of
people to make a novel. Most readers never appreciate the number
of people that work on a single book for print. People I have a great
amount of respect for.That being said, I started my adventure by
submitting three stories into a four genre contest. As it would have
it, they wanted my Young Adult story. the pre-orderfor this novel began
on Jan. 25, 2011.
